The People and Not the Party Should
Rule.
IV e arc told that it is absolutely
necessary that there should he at least
two great political parties in the union
of the states, that the people may get
their rights,, and that the necessary
amount of friction between the two w-ill
keep the machinery of government
moving smoothly oh. Wlieu two parties
vie with'each other in bringing about a
prosperous condition of the country,
the iieople get the benefit of wise legis
lation and wholesome laws; but when
a party seeks supremacy for Die only
pur|K>ae of building up one section on
the downfall of another, or to give“fat”
places to party favorites and the gen
eral welfare of the country is not at all
considered, such party power is ruin
ous in its effect, t his is not only
wrong, but it is bad policy, because the
true interests of the party, w hen prop
erly considered, must harmonize with
the general wellbeing of the |w;ople, and'
a,success that demands an infringement
upon the true interests of the masses, is
injurious and s. bold he temporary, and
is more than apt to be followed by a re
action equal to the violation of right
upon which it gives ail unjust ascen
dency'. This is a fact that the thinking
and conservative element of liotli parties
must admit. When the democrats or
republicans have only one object in
view , and that is, party success, they
are in a condition to scruple at nothing,
and lo achieve supremacy and power,
will committ tiie party to a line of
policy that must result in
its overthrow; hence the great
necessity for proper respect and defer
ence to the wishes of the conservative
element of both porties. ’flu* conserva
tive democrat is in the majority in both
parties, and that is the agricultural ele
ment,. If the agriculturist is consulted,
it w ill he found that he desires a pure
and honest administration and will se
lect men to administer 'public affairs
who have the integrity, ability and es
pecial fitness to qualify them to dis
charge the duties of office with justice
to all classes, hut when natural born
politicians are selected, if they haven’t
money enough to liberally contribute to
the campaign fund to secure their own
election, they can get it, provided, they
will he the servants of money rings and
monopolists, ami a man can easily be
had, who can be depended, upon to
so distribute the “spoils,” as to insure a
perpetuation of the party in power.
What a contrast between these
two methods of selecting candi
dates! Instead of the leaders of Imth
parties consulting the interests of the
productive classes of the country hv
-uggestin • a statesman with merit, abil
ity ..ml lit ness to commend him, they
are actually diseu-sing the propriety of
looking up some moneyed king in Wall
st reet or elsewhere.
The conservative element of both par
ties will have to put a stop to this fool
ishness or like the Kilkenny eats, both
parlies will Is: devoured in the conlliet.
The democrats are looking to their
party for relief from oppression and
euibirra-sinent. All .hope of hotter
times is centered in the supremacy of
I to- democracy. The republicans are
taught to Udieve that the salvation of
the country depends upon republican
rule. The “outs” claim that the de
pressing influences tiial overspread .this
land like a pall of darkness, will never
he dissipated till they take their posi
tions in the uppermost scats in the Na
tion’s Capitol. The “ins” are confi
dent that if they fail to -‘Miold tl»e fort”
the country will go to the dogs, so that
bet ween the two great party factions,
the people are driven and tossed on the
uncertain waters of partisanship, where
the billows are running high and the
hreakers close at baud. The rights of
the common people and the full and
l'r.-e exercise of true citizenship ure
matters of secondary eonsideraU -u in
the general account of the nation’s pros-
|ierily.‘ The all important item of
party power occupies the minds, tlie
time and talentsof those whose duty it,
is, or should be. to legislate for the good
of all the people. The Alliance and the
conservative element of tioih parties
will have to call a halt in this distinc
tive public policy.

Destruction to Crops—A Terrible Ex
perience.
'rife hail, experienced on Friday even
ing, did great, damage in a strip of only
about three hundred yards broad and
extending from the lower bridge to
|)r. McGleiky’s place, two miles out of
town. It swept a licld of cotton per
fectly down, ami riddled corn. The de
struction of crops and gardens, in its
path, was complete, and they will have
to lm replanted. It is a gre. t loss on
the farmers Who were in its track.
Mr. Methvin, of Athens, was in the
midst of the hail storm, and says his
horse was pelted by the stones, until it
was all lie conlil do to keep it from run
ning away. The hail raise*! lumps all
over the animal. Mr. Methvip tells us
that lie could not see three feet ip front
of his face. aMPL
It was only in this short distance
where crops were so badly damaged.
Hail has been very frequent ami dis
astrous this year. - »•

statement ‘hat threats had been
made to boycott a gentleman in
Athens for his o[ po-iuon to Col.
Olive.
For several days a rumor to the
efiect that Mr. Olive, through certain
of iiis kinsmen and friends in Ogle
thorpe county, was making an effort
to induce our subscribers in that
county to discontinue their paper,
but only twenty names bad been se
cured to the boycott—and few, il
any, of this number arc pations of
The Banner. So we presumed that
the effort hail fallen through.
But it seems that Mr. Olive is still
working on his scheme. Mr. Walter
Lowe, a Ledger reporter, tells tis that
Mr. Dan Lumpkin—a near connec
tion and intimate friend to Mr. Olive
—says that not only will the friends
of that candidate, in Oglethorpe, re
fuse lo take The Banner, but intend
Lo boycott any house that advertises
in our paper.
These are certainly new political
tactics, ami we shall watch their
workings with interest and curiosity
'We are glad, to*, that the gentleman
lias selected Oglethorpe as the field
for liis experiment, as the people oi
tha*. county are noted for their in
telligence and conservatism, and arc
old and warm friends of The Ban
keu editor. Il was among them that
we started life as a journalist, and
they have stood by us through thick
and thin. IVe predict that the gens
tlcuuin will find that he has counted
without his host when he attempts to
coerce the fair-minded and intelli
gent people of Oglethorpe into uni
ting with him in such an uunalnral
and unjust war against a man who
has never re I used to give his time
and his pen to their service when
called upon ; and who simply exer
cises his right as a free American
citizen to vote for the candidate he
honestly believes will best represent
his people.
So we say to Mr. Olive, proceed with
your boycott- we are ready for il -and
are eoutent to leave the rrbtamli»n of
our case to the voters of the 8th dis
trict. We have been threatened with
a boycott for our support of the Sub-
Treasury bill;and we do not helii-ve
that the Allianeemeu will desert os
for a man who has ouly partially
committed himself to this great mea
sure of relief for our farmers, and
says he “will support it if nothin
better is proposed ”
We have not waged a personal
light against Mr. Olive, and have uo
intention of so doing. His public
words and acts are open to criticism,
and we shall not hesitate to criticise
them. This is our right, and it is
our duty as a public journalist.
Even were a boycott against The
Banner successful, it would be an
injustice and wrong to visit persouaj
spleen against its editor upon the in
nocent stockholders, some of waoni
ate dependent widows. There would
be just as much sense and reason iu
boycotting a railroad, because the
conductor incurred your enmity.
If this is Mr. Olive’s plait to l>uild
up a support, we think the gentle
man is about as far oil the track as
wlteu he attempts to make the race
for congress on a purely Slate issue
So when Mr. Olive and his rela
tives see fit lo commence their boy
cott, we shall appeal to the organiz
ed Democrats and the Alliancenien of
,the 8th district, who have never de
serted us and uever will
Certain papers in Georgia, that j i »i»i llj j j »^jt
re secret enemies to the Alliance or
the Sub-Treasury bill, are trying to
make capital of the fact that The
Banner editor once opposed Col,
Livingston, but is now his earnest
supporter. As this gentleman is not
a candidate for office in this district,
we cannot see what possible assis
tance the support of our paper could
he to him. We admire the noble
light that Col. Livingston has made
W the Alliance, and even were he
our bitterest enemy we wonld give
him credit fot it.
While other tnen wore working for
their own s* llish ends, L. F. Living
ston was giviug his entiic time and
talent to the Alliance, and his noble
work is not only appreciated by the
farmers, but by every friend of the
farmers. The only opportunity we
ever had to vote for Col. Livingston
was when he made the race for Slate
Senator in this district, and while we
were not an admirer of some of his
reported methods, a closer acquaint
ance with the above gentleman com*
vinoes us that he has been misrepre
sented by his enemies. If the Slate
as filled with Livingstons, the
atise of the Alliance would be in
safe hands.
Wise men sometimes change their
opinions, but fools never.
No one can truthfully accuse The
Banner editor of being a fcucc-
rider. We have stood by our prin
ciples and our convictions when it
seemed that an overwhelming ma
jority were against us. We care not
for the darts of malice or the venom
f our personal enemies. So long as
we feel that we are in the righ*, no
earthly power can change us.

A sad accident occurred at the home of
Mr. A. M. Blake yesterday alterni on.
Wade Blake had just returded home

Charlie was killed with buckshot, the

MR. HARDEMAN'S CANDIDACY-
Hon. Tom Hardeman, of Macon,is
a candidate for Governor. The peo

Northern, and it will be tolly for any
one to attempt to defeat him. This
gentleman has committed himself on
the Sub-Tiea9ury bill, and is in full

Again, Hon. Robert Hardeman—
brother to the new Gubernatorial
candidate— is our State Treasurer
and the people of Georgia do not he

and another thing, their own sex will not
help them. The second class of adven
turesses is far worse tbun the first. It
is composed of women who, in the most
deliberate and cold blooded fashion imag
inable, set to work to ruin men and extort
money from them. They are utterly with
out heart, remorse or conscience. They
never confess nor acknowledge that they
have done anything wrong. They core
nothing for their victims. They simply
want money to gratify feminine frivolities,
and five, ten, yes twenty, thousand dollar*
merely represent certain extravagances
of dress or living which they are bound to
possess. As a rule adventuresses come
from She cities. 1 have had a few before

DUDLEY’S NOMINATION.
Senator Colquitt and what He has
Done About Davis and Dudley.
Washington, June 14.—The Dudley
nomination has not been withdrawn
from the Senate committee, blit it is
probable that, it will he, and that the
present postmaster at Amerieus will he
oiitiniied in office indefinitely.
The Matt. Davis appointment has hung
up in flu; committee for many weeks,
•nd while nothing positive can Ik* learn
ed hy lvason of the secrecy imposed by
the rules, it is presumed that this
delay was engineered hy Senator Col-
piitt. He could not defeat Davis, and
t is quite qossible that if he had fought
this appointment on the Hour Dudley
would have been confirmed iu addition.
It is thought here that the senator has
handled these matters skillfully,aud Las
accomplished about all that could have
been expected. If Colonel Buck has in
terfered in the Dudley matter, his in-
terferanee has been with the republi
can-* of the committee. Jtis not thought
however, that lie is captious about this
disappointment.

her arrival in this city she m ide tho ac

“A most audacious adventuress was Mrs.
Boland, a divorcee. Shs ruined :: man by
tho name of Tomlins, and then accepted
the protection of a capitalist, now dead.
He made a private settlement on her for
the support of an expected child, but after
getting the money she went into mourn
ing for the death of the child, to which she
never gavo birth.
“Like a romance runs the story of Maria
Martel D’Osorio, Countess of Torres Cab-
ram, Spain. This beautiful creature sud
denly appeared in Paris in 1800, and in »
short time squandered over $00,000 In riot
ous living. Her story was that her guard
ian stopped her remittances, as she-was,
not of age. Being forced to curtail her ex-1
peuses, she quitted the gay French capital]
and went to London. Here in some wayi
she was admitted to very good society, and 1
on one occasion visited in company with
some English ladies a number of shops,
where she gave au immense order for silk
stockings, dainty hose and valuable luces,
directing that her coronet be embroidered
on each piece. ’’
“When the goods were delivered to her
she hypothecated them with her pawn
broker and then with her husband, a
young Spaniard whom she had met in Lon
don, fled to New York. She swindled him
•oon, causing him to draw on his parents
for $50,000 by telling him she .would have
a vast sum of money from her estates in
Spain on attaining her majority. While
in this city she swindled shopkeepers to
the tune of $10,000 ami then suddenly left
for Mexico.
“But the queen of all the confidence wo
men is Mm. Ellen Puck. Her schemes have
been on a large scale, and have nearly al
ways netted her large sums of money. She
has often Itecu arrested, but has only once
been punished. She was released from the
penitentiary in February, ,1889. One of her
favorite methods is to represent that she
has large tracts of timber lands in the
south, and that It is only the lack of ready
money that keeps her from working these
lands and realizing a great fortune.
“She would advertise in the papers for
women with a capital of $1,000, statiug
that tlio sum could bo trebled in ninety
days by investing it in her southern lauds.
She duped Samuel Plnzer, a wealthy pill
manufacturer, to the amount of $1,100; she
swindled a firm of dry goods dealers out of
goods valued at $4,500; she duped a wealthy
Cuban living here to the amount of $12,000;
she obtained $21,000 worth of diamonds
from John D. Grady, a diamond broker on
Broadway, and she got $19,000 from B. T.
Babbitt, tlie soap manufacturer, under the
pretense that she was a detective and could
secure t!-# return to Babbitt of a large sum
of money that was stolen from him. She
is a sharp, keen adventuress and very hard
to catch.
“It is a curious study of human nature
to watch tho struggles of so mo men to free
themselves from the w-lles of adventuresses,
at tho same time baing completely fasci
nated by their enslavers,” continued the
inspector. “I have had men come to ine
aud beg me to rid them of these women in
ono breath and in the next praise their
beauty and fascination. I have extricated
them from their toils, only to see them en
tangled again iu a short tiroo.”
‘SHE GAVE AN IMMENSE ORDER.”
ons tastes and extravagancies soon brought
about u separation. She then became ac
quainted with a young man named Jay
Jarvis, a member of a good family and the
possessor of a fine fortune. This woman
ruined him financially and socially and
after getting his last cent was in tho habit
of sending him upon menial errands.
“Then there was lizzie Gallagher, who
ruined Frederick Klennen, cashier of the
Hoboken Savings hunk. Klennen had a
lovely wife and three l*eautiful chiidreu,
but at this woman’s bidding drew from
the accounts of various depositors over
$25,900, the bulk of which the womuu

was arrested in Loudon, extradited, tried,
convicted and sentenced to tea yeats in
state prison.
“There was the notorious Mrs. Cunning
ham, who was arrested for the murder of
Dr. Harvey Burdell and who mined John
C. Eckel, a promising young merchant.
His connection with this infamous woman
blasted all his prospects. In fact he was

OVER EAGER TO GET RICH.
How Two Penny Weighter* Came to
Ciriuf in Chicago.
The substitution of imitation gems for
the reAl, or of brass or plated jewelry for
gold, is a dishonest species of legerdemain
termed In the vernacular of thieves and
thief catchers “penny weighting.” Two
pest masters p/ the profession were re
cently caught in Chicago—not by the po
lice, but by a dealer they had defrauded.
The men—George Brown and John Gind-
rath by n;.me—had fora month been reap
ing a rich harvest from the stocks of
wealthy downtown merenants, who carry
large lines of precious stones, and who, on
discovering their losses, preferred keeping
quiet to ><eing langhed at.
But with Brown and Gindrath it was
the chi story of tlie pitcher that too often
went to the well. They tried to defraud
a small dealer on the North Side named
UiUmun, who owned but a small number
of diamonds and knew each ono by sight

No sooner had the dexterous substitution

The Maine hens, according to a story that
comes from I*ewlatqn, would seem to be
possessed of more than henlike generosity.
A little girl bos a number that she feeds
from her bands. Some are tame and some
are timid. Lately one of the former ones,
taking pity on one of the latter, deliberate
ly pushed with her beak part of the corn
from her mistress’s band upon the ground,
where, under shelter of the other hens, the
timid one could eat her corn without fear,
and this has constantly been re-enacted.
